Between 1951 and 1963, Bertold Hummel composed music for various cultural films produced at the E.E.A. Krafft-Film GmbH film studio in Freiburg with producers Michael Kalmus and Dr. Raimund Kaufmann, among others. Researching these films is proving very difficult. Films nos. 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 are located in the Federal Film Archive in Koblenz. However, for conservation reasons, only no. 10 can be used. Film no. 3 about H. Matisse can be borrowed from the Passau Municipal Media Centre. If you have any information about the whereabouts of the other films, we would be very grateful if you could let us know!
